 Vice President, Ernst-Western Corporation 11% savings with a 25-month payback period, and reduced maintenance costs “We actually allowed the electrical contractor to change the plans the architect had given for the hotel to actually make it the most energy-efficient hotel that we could build. And yet, we found with Energy Automation Systems, their audit showed that still, even with all the effort we had put into it, we could still realize an 11% savings and a return on investment of 25 months — which was really quite impressive.” |
 CEO, Johnny Janosik Furniture Projected savings of up to 25% “[The EASI system] has fulfilled its goals. It has continued to meet my budget expectations. It’s continuing to meet the payout period I wanted and desired. Therefore I would fully recommend to anyone as a cost-containment method. I don’t know of anything else that could do it beyond this.” |

This is to acknowledge our outmost satisfaction with the process, products and results of the Electrical Energy Savings Installation completed in October 2008 by Caribbean Energy Savings, Inc. in our high technology medical devices manufacturing facility in Stryker, P. R.
The installation included lighting retrofit of the manufacturing and warehousing areas, installation of EAST products, including easiliners and powerliners in the manufacturing and A/C equipment and optimizers and frigitech in the air conditioning units. Highlights worth mentioning are the following:
- Illumination levels were improved. With CES, Inc. support, prior to the installation we tried out various luminaries colors and configurations to better fit our needs.
- Installation was completed with no interruption to our 240 manufacturing process. Supplier was always ready to work on nights, holidays and weekends as required.
- Work was completed within schedule.
- Supplier responded to our technical requests proactively, even in situations which were clearly other suppliers responsibilities.
- Facility Power factor significantly improved from .73 to .94, even though this was not a primary goal of the project. This added 2% extra dollar savings.
- Environmental commitments of our operation were met.
- Last but not least, energy reduction goals were surpassed. Our 9% commitment on savings on our 1,436,000 kwh ave. monthly consumption was twofold achieved, using IPMVP option C standards. This is specially remarkable as our cost of energy had also increased during the period.
Needless to say we highly value the achievements and professionalism observed by the supplier during the installation, will consider them for future energy saving endeavors and will be happy to answer any reference calls.
Municipalities
"I would like to express the City's satisfaction with the EASI system at our Water Plant....Since it is our newest and most modern deep well system, we felt that any savings would be more difficult to achieve.
The City was pleasantly surprised to find the savings received was in excess of the projected savings the first 18 months after the system was installed. As this is much higher than promised, the payback will be quicker than projected. The professionalism of your contractors was greatly appreciated as they were punctual and did the job quickly and efficiently with a minimum amount of disruption to the daily routine of the plant."
Tire Company
“... With the ever-increasing cost of doing business, it is a rare pleasure to find a way to reduce operating expenses. Since the EASI electrical conservation system was installed at our Lee Trevino location, we are saving an average of 13% from previous year’s electrical bills.”
Major Manufacturer
“I am writing to express our great satisfaction with the energy savings project your company implemented for CKR Industries. Your system has been operating flawlessly for nearly a year. While EASI originally projected a 21-month payback period for the project, I’m very pleased to report that we have already experienced only an eight-month payback because of higher than estimated energy savings.
We liked the idea of your total integrated approach that increased the efficiency of all our loads, including motors, high intensity and fluorescent lighting, air conditioning, etc. We’ve noticed no adverse affects from the improvements you’ve made. In fact, our motor and lighting maintenance cost have been reduced by 85% as a result of our EASI system. We did not factor these additional savings into the calculated payback.”
Junior College
“Mr. Merlo and his company have an unique approach to electrical energy conservation. They have done work for both Draughons Junior College and Davidson Technical College that will result in a 20% to 30% lowering of our electrical bills. The best part is that their methods are totally passive with no adverse effects. Any business owner who recognizes that the electric bill is a major portion of overhead would do well to hear their story.”
Hospital
“When we were first approached by your company, we were a little bit hesitant about installing your energy conservation systems because it looked almost too good to be true. … We decided to go ahead with it because we were very impressed with your proposal and no-risk guarantee.
The system has been in operation now for 16 months and thus far we have experienced a total reduction in our electrical costs of $68,690.00, or an average of $4,293 per month. This is almost like free money! This equates to a percentage reduction of 16.7% which is precisely on schedule with your projection of 16.5%. I am impressed with the accuracy of your proposal.”
Water Park
“I have installed six of your EasiLiner devices on my filter pump motors. The motors range from 15 hp to 40 hp. I am pleased to report that the average energy savings is about 18 percent. I am very pleased with these results, since it represents a capital payback of less than three months (one of my better investments).
Thank you for providing this equipment, and I am pleased to recommend the EasiLiners to any of your prospective clients.”
International Hotel
“It was nearly six months since you installed the first EasiLiner in Qatar. Considering the short period of time, it has proven that our monthly bill for the chillers had reduced by 15% to 20% as expected. We are optimistic that, by this summer, the EasiLiner will do its job and eventually will pay itself after 2 years as projected. Needless to say, the wires going to [the main circuit breaker] are comparatively cooler than before. This may be the reason of less amperage passing through the circuit.”

Major Office/Retail Building
“... to install an energy savings system in one of our larger office buildings in Albuquerque, NM. This building is well over 3,000,000 sq. ft. and contains office complexes as well as retail operations. The energy savings system was installed by the end of February 1999. The installation went smoothly and there have been no warranty issues with any of the installed equipment to date.
The installation has been in place for a year and the electric utility bill for this facility has decreased over $90,000 from the base year. Also during this period, the total number of kilowatt-hours decreased by 735,000 from the base year. ...”

“This letter is to comment on the EASI energy saving system your company installed in our metalworking business over a year ago, and to express our appreciation for the efforts you have made to save our company money on our utility bills.
When you first met with us we weren’t familiar with the methods you proposed to use in our business. But, we were very impressed by your demonstration, and we had a referral from another area business, as well. Because of this, we decided to hire you to design a system to save us utility money.
We haven’t regretted our decision, and would recommend your work to any other business interested in a problem-free way to reduce their costs for electricity. ...”
